Psalms 17:3


Psalms 17:2 Psalms 17:3 (KJV) Psalms 17:4
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
